The Duhawks added on in the 23^rd minute as McDonnell lobbed another stellar pass toward the goal, setting up senior forward Abby Eriksen with a header chance of her own. 

The first second-half goal came in the 47^th minute as O'Brien got free down the left sideline, then dumped a pass off to Johnson in front of the net, leading to Johnson's second goal of the match. Johnson completed her hat trick with a sizzling shot from the top of the box in the 52nd minute before Eriksen finished one of the best goals of the year with a stellar bicycle kick to the top right corner to make it 6-0 in just the 55^th minute of play.

Loras added one final goal in the 58th minute as junior midfielder Hannah Schmitz finished a contested shot after a short pass from junior defender Rylee Quillen.
